Hi there, I’m Amy and I’m from Scotland. I am very passionate about creating an environment for children to thrive, learn and feel safe. I was a Senior Practitoner at a nursery where I looked after 2-3 year olds. As a Senior Practitioner my main role was to help make sure the children are enjoying their experience in Nursery in a safe fun environment and that the activities we are doing matched the children’s interests and worked together to expand their learning while having fun. The beginning of my childcare career was working in Camp America as an Arts and Crafts Director in Michigan. We had children who came for just during the day and others stayed with us for a week or even sometimes a whole month. Being the Art and Crafts Director meant I was solely in charge of all the activities and organisation of the Art room. This was a great responsibility for me as I have learned that I can lead Art classes and help others in a leadership role. I loved coming up with Arts and Crafts ideas for my Art Clinics. We done many different activities from making their own Day of the Dead masks, slime and their own armour for Knights week. The children I worked with here were between the ages of 3 to 16 years old.
